The last pillar, not attached, symbolizes the transition to post graduate life.

U.S. Smile Capitol

In 1948, the Mayor of the City of Pocatello, George Phillips, passed an ordinance making it
illegal not to smile in Pocatello. The "Smile Ordinance" was passed tongue in cheek as a result
of an exceptionally severe winter, which had dampened the spirit of city employees and
citizens alike.

Join the fun and help us celebrate the universal language of a smile! Keep Smiling!

Pocatello History

Gateway to the Northwest
Founded in 1889, Pocatello was known as the "Gateway to the
Northwest." As pioneers, gold miners and settlers traveled the Oregon
Trail, they passed through the Portneuf Gap south of town. Stage and
freight lines and the railroad soon followed, turning our community into

a trade center and transportation junction.

Indigenous Tribes
The name "Pocatello" comes from an Indian chief of the Shoshone
tribe who granted the railroad a right-of-way through the Fort Hall

Indian Reservation.

Shoshone and Bannock Indian tribes inhabited southeastern Idaho for
hundreds of years before the epic trek by Lewis and Clark across

Idaho in 1805. Their reports of the many riches of the region attracted
fur trappers and traders to southeastern Idaho.

Hosted by the Alpha Zeta Chapter

Welcome to Pocatello and to the Phi Delta
Chi 2016 Mountain Regional Conference…..

The students of the Alpha Zeta chapter of Phi Delta Chi have been working diligently to ensure your
time in the U.S. Smile Capitol is worth the travel you have made to be here. We hope that you will
have an opportunity to experience Pocatello and create lasting memories with your peers. By
exchanging a skyline of buildings for a horizon of mountain tops, you are certain to see why we love
having the Idaho State University campus here.

You have proven yourselves as active leaders in the profession of pharmacy by
becoming members of Phi Delta Chi. I hope that you will continue to be passionate and committed
to the profession of pharmacy throughout your lives. Locally, the Alpha Zeta chapter takes part in
various community service acts including highway clean up and making dinner for children at the
Bannock House. This highlights the service oriented mission that each of you are devoted to, and
showcases your organization as an example for the rest of the country.

I hope that you enjoy your time at the Phi Delta Chi conference, and continue to serve as leaders in
your profession of pharmacy.

Sincerely,

Arthur C. Vailas, Ph.D.
President
Idaho State University
